Newcastle United receive triple boost as club plunged deeper into crisis after defensive injury

"Instead, Postecoglou has been the man in the dugout as Forest have picked up just one point from their opening two matches in the competition. The 60-year-old has lost four of his opening six matches as Forest manager, seeing his team end up on the losing side against Swansea City in the Carabao Cup, Sunderland, Arsenal and most recently FC Midtjylland."

"Ange Postecoglou at his Nottingham Forest unveiling only a matter of weeks ago (Image credit: Getty Images) Danish club Midtjylland defeated Forest 3-2 at the City Ground on Thursday night leading home fans to chant en masse against new appointment Postecoglou. The Australian admitted at full-time that 'nothing surprises me in football anymore', after stating he had in fact heard the chants for him to be sacked just six games into his tenure."

"Forest appointed ex-Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou after parting ways with Nuno Espirito Santo earlier this season, however, the club's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse. Nuno, now in charge at West Ham United, helped the Reds qualify for European football for the first time in over two decades but was not given the opportunity to lead the team in this season's Europa League."

Nottingham Forest appointed Ange Postecoglou after parting ways with Nuno Espirito Santo, but results have worsened with Postecoglou losing four of his first six matches. Forest picked up just one point from their opening two Europa League matches and suffered a 3-2 home defeat by Midtjylland that prompted home fans to chant for his sacking. Postecoglou said 'nothing surprises me in football anymore' and acknowledged hearing the chants. Nuno, now at West Ham, had helped Forest qualify for European football for the first time in over two decades but did not lead them in this season's Europa League. Forest have had one day less preparation after Newcastle's 4-0 win in Belgium, and Newcastle will be without Tino Livramento for around eight weeks due to a knee ligament injury.
